Exhausted Murwillumbah South, New South Wales, Australia
By daredevils5 on 26-Jun-10. Waypoint GC2ATNC

due to the recent floods this location is no longer a good spot

Sorry to have to do this but it seems as thoe someone has taken our Cache.

Two really enthusiastic muggle friends (Zach & Kanga) and I spent a lovely half day searching the area for regular and large caches.
We discovered lots of fabulous Aussie bush land, rolling hills, beaches, sugar cane, tea plantations, etc, etc.
The object of the day as to find as many as possible regular and large caches. Because we hate those stupid nanocaches that people hide out in the forest !
Hence we were quite disappointed to discover that "Exhausted" has been muggled. [:(!]
I have written to the cache owner in a separate email, hoping that he or she will find the time to check this cache and if necessary, place a new box.
Greetings from Paris, France.

Today we decided to tackle some caches we had heard about around Murwillumbah area, so I selected caches along The Lolly Bag Loop and suggested to Selva Girls (and her GeoMum) and Team Benders that we join forces for the day and escape the city and head for the country. We had a great time and collected 27 Smileys.

Strange encounter here with COs husband who owns the cache name business. Pity we couldn't log Found It! At lease we got to see where the cache should have been. [xx(]

On a lovely day out with RoddyC and Selva Girls doing the lolly loop and others.
We arrived at GZ and started the search and the CO's husband came out to see us.
He took us to where the cache was supposed to be but it was not there.
Thanks for the hunt

Gz looks a little odd. Plam tree is fallen over.. maybe crushed underneath? Not comfortable with gz so didn't look too hard. First cache looked for in Auz ever.

Searched for 30 mins. No luck today..

Got spot

Gotcha tftc

Heading south for a trip to Mt Warning on a sunny weekend and broke up the trip with a string of worthy caches

Worried about trespassing but can see the CO works here. I can tell you that after the walk up Mt Warning, I was exhausted A quick find and not a soul in sight. CO must be having a day off. This is a long weekend in Queensland for the Queen's birthday

TFTC daredevils5!

Found. Was looking for a popular cashe with a bit of size to it was hoping to drop off a travel bug that wants to do a lot of traveling. This cache seems slow moving. I guess it's forward to find another 1 and keep hold of it till i move or find something more appropriate.
This cache was a quick find. Almost nicked your pen. tftc

Bit dodgy outback

I was standing behind the bushes looking sheepishly at my GPS and not believing where it wanted me to go, when a white car suddenly got driven close to where I was standing. A man got out of the car and told me he knew what I was looking for (he was from the business). I told him that I couldn't believe where it had been placed. It seemed quite wrong having to go through the back yard of the business to find the cache. Even though he said I could I still felt weird and uncomforable doing so. Is there any chance that this cache can be moved out front? There is quite a bit of foliage there to disguise it? Maybe? Private property caches are so difficult to do. I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't met the man. I am not as daredevilish as you guys might be

Palmed this one off on the way to Mt Warning.

Thanks,Kim KyKirra 30.7.2016

My daughter Oceans first geocache. She's so stoked. Clever name when you work it out

On our way to Mt Warning, Bennyboppers, Lisylou, muggle Tash and myself decided to do this cache. TFTC!

A quick find with lisylou and mnance101 and tash on our way to mt warning tftc

Quick pick up on the way to Mt warning. Tftc

Very strange location here. Passing through with Remsjw and Jemillalucy.

Found with mnance and bennyboppers on our way to Mt Warning. Another stop along the way not quite what we expected but all ok. Tftc

Tftc

Found at 1:07 PM GAFF1.
No one around so we could search amongst the rubbish unhindered
Thanks daredevils5.

Yay our first ever find!

We found it! Phoebe, Isaac, Noah, Brock, jay, Tyler, Charlie, Frankie, Jo, Jodi and Lisa

Is this still in play? JenneG and Budgy

Earlier this week MinkosDes messaged me, asking if I was crazy enough to do an overnight trip to Stockers Siding to climb Mt.Warning and attend the event. Well how could I say no?!

After setting up camp at the event we decided to do a circuit tour of the surrounding area from cache to cache.

Not a fan of caches on private property, especially when there are many places that would have been more appropriate than behind the trash skip at the back of the business.

Never the less we found the cache and were not muggled!!

TFTC daredevils5

This was our next find on our little afternoon caching adventure around Murwillumbah. After a little searching it was decided that the GPS was not wrong, we were wrong and we had to get closer...

I am not a fan of caches on private property. I know that the CO knows, but others around don't and this cache was not in a area that is the best to be poking around in on a weekend.

After conjuring up the will to go where the cache was, it was soon found. I'm not sure if the cache has been forgotten, but the area is not very inviting and the cache was covered in hundreds of ants as a nest is built under the cache.

Venturing down from the Sunny Coast, this cache was part of a 2-day adventure for [mtill17](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=ae463669-50bd-49c3-961b-326573012dc6) and I that revolved around the awesome event '[Mt. Warning Get Together](https://coord.info/GC6HYV5)'. It was a great weekend of hiking, caching, socialising and rain [:p].

It is just amazing what this region has to offer, not only in the way of geocaches but also the views. It is really one very scenic area to be adventuring in. I had a great time whilst down here in NSW and will definitely be coming back soon!

Thanks for the cache daredevils5 but I think a little TLC is needed here?

Quick find, cache in good condition.

Couple of ants.... Tftc

Hubby found it .. ants ants ants. Tftc

I had an hour to spare in Murwillumbah before continuing our travels south so decided to pick up a few local caches

I was a bit weary to access this cache even though you mentioned its your business. Caches on private property always make you feel nervous!
Luckily the place seemed dead on a Saturday so I ventured on in. I walked in circles scratching my head as no obvious hides popped out at me. I was a bit confused and thought I was in for a tough find. However before I got started I finally spotted it!

Ducked through some spider webs and had the cache in hand Thanks daredevils5!

Pesky ants

Found it thanks

Found it, was hard to find, but comments helped! Spiders and ants made it tricky to get to!

Palm tree is down. Not an obvious find.

I like the urban camoflague, and my wife likes the smell of the flowers. Also NOTE: the log is full. Someone kindly added a new sheet but it needs a new log book.

Caching with Samcheng. Quick find. Log full so signed, and added, a page from a
notebook. TFTC.

Caching with friends. A quick find. The log was full so a signed sheet of paper was added. TFTC

Very sneaky find!! Took us a few minutes of searching, but we found its spot in anongst the ants! TFTC!

Merry Christmas TY

This was my first official geocache find! Thanks mate good hunt!

Found it after a LOT of looking! We did "cheat" and check earlier log posts to help find it ... yes it is still under a palm tree, but not how or where you think!

The mechanic tried to help us here by pointing us in the right direction, around the back of the garage but he said it used to be hidden under a palm tree that has now been knocked down. The remains of the palm tree are mulched on the ground together with rubbish, diesel, ants and many other bugs. It was very smelly and dirty so although we are not easily put off, we had to walk away from this one with the Geocache unfound.

Very cleverly done

Tftc

TFTC

Took a bit of digging gps played up

Not that easy. Gps played up. If you disturb to much watch out for the ants

Sneaky find. The comments helped!

3rd cache in Australia

A few trees down but owner helped lead us in the right direction.

Found this one a while ago forgot to log it tftc

TFTC. Beware of the swarming ants on this cache. Took the watch and left a nice false tooth. Some kid is gunna love that!

End of a big day - my 7 year old found this one and was very happy about it

Hadn't seen my bestie in a long time we decided to do something different today. She had been exposed to caching but hadn't really gotten involved. After today's exploits, I think she is now hooked.

Living close to the Lolly Bag Loop helped as we just navigated our way from her place.

Turns out that besties Dad used to work at this business. However, it was footy day so there were heaps of cars around. Not many muggles as we could hear the cheers from the footy field as someone scored.

Had to read past logs for extra hints for this one. Turns out that the Palm Tree in question is no longer vertical and the extra hint about the rusty pipe in another log assisted with zooming in on GZ.

Cache grabbed, log signed and replaced. Loads of swag in this one still. Took nothing, left nothing.

*Log is full*

What do you do on a day when it's pouring rain in sunny QLD?
Go caching in Northern NSW (where it's also bucketing down) of course!

Approaching GZ & wouldn't you know it? Down comes the rain in sheets!
Parked close to where we thought GZ was but the co-ords kept telling us a different story.
Had plenty of time to think things out while we waited for a break in the downpour.
I was pretty sure where the cache was so it was just a matter of waiting for the right time to confirm my suspicions.
Waiting, waiting, waiting ...
At last, the rain has not stopped but is much more agreeable.
Out of the Geo-beast, a quick forage & cache in hand.
Log signed & replaced as found.

No find

With help from one of the workers here we found it rather easily. Last one to fill log book but more can be added as there is space.

Nice little find on a sleepy Saturday arvo with no one around. Palm tree is no longer standing so keep that on mind. TFTC.

Good find

Finally got a morning on our Queensland holiday to do a bit of caching and to pick up a combination of a few different types of caches for a challenge I am slowly working on back in Melbourne. I grabbed one puzzle in Queensland before heading down this way for a few in NSW. It was very humid and 35 degrees today which is weather I am so not used to being from Melbourne!
Nice and deserted here on a Sunday so after spotting something suspicious near where an area that matched the hint, the cache was in hand, the log was signed and I was on my way.
Thanks daredevils5 for the cache, the hunt and the fun.

A bit tricky but the gps finally came thru & the 3 grandkids loved it (even if it was a smelly place)!

Nice easy find. Good sized container so left some swaps.. tftc

SLTNLN

TFTC. nice hide, hint should now be rusty pipe

Sorry I used an old account to log that one accidently.. Thanks again and merry Christmas !

Puffed by the time I found this one. Tftc

Had to wait til After Hours to get this one. See what you mean re Palm Tree. TFTC

Here I am looking for a palm tree. It turns out the palm tree is toes up. I find the cache. Alas, the brick concealing the cache goes rolling down the hill. It is the hottest day on the planet and I am too hot and bothered to go fetch it. I did, however, put the cache so far in its hidey hole that a muggle won't find it.

TFTC

I thought I would get exhausted looking for this cache but found it quite quickly with the help of the hint and The Flangs.TFTC

Found it! Forgot to bring a pen.

tftc..

Tree is very dead and laying down at back right corner shed.

I thought I had logged this one but it must not of sent, get little hide pity about the poor palm tree found with diamonjs. TFTC

When I first looked at this one I thought it was exhausted because of the sports fields but no, nice clever hide but a shame about the palm. TFTC

was looking a bit silly, wandering across the front of this business before asking the CO (as it turned out) about the cache, he directed me to where I thought I should go but wasn't so sure. Cache was soon in hand, tree is expired these days not just exhausted.
tftc daredevils5 and for the helpful direction

Did feel like intruding, but there it was. Palm tree very 2nd hand now...TFTC

TFTC great hiding spot

Tree? What tree haha Tftc

felt like we were intruding on PP but all was cool .. tftc

The palm tree is just about exhausted. TFTC.

Found it. Thanks. Used to be a palm tree.

Every day in Murbah is a sunny one when you have a good hide like this. Thanks for the cache and friendly staff too. Unfortunately the palm has had better days, you may need to change the hint soon. Popped in a trinket, took nothing.

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Some clever thinking going on here tftc!

Had us looking a bit for this one .. Didnt want to trust where the GPS was sending us but braved it and got the reward TFTC

Friday was a leisurely day with T-Tech, caching our way from Brisbane to Murwillumbah.

Saturday was a manic day, which started with a very early milestone smashing hike to see the sun rise from Mount Warning with T-Tech, Brother Colin, LadySim, Swellerfungus, teamdfl and ruzzelz, followed by a few hours road tripping to Nimbin with Brother Colin, followed by some Fishin' and puzzle hunting with the others. A HUGE day out

Sunday it's time to head back to Brisbane with T-Tech, but of course we took a very long scenic route [^] After a quick run out to Tyalgum to get one last view of Mount Warning from there, we hunted a couple more in town, before heading south towards Mullumbimby. We were a little wary of this one as it seemed to be on private land, but a read of the Description explained all that. And for some reason we convinced ourselves that the hiding spot couldn't possibly be where the GPS was pointing, but had to be right HERE! We spent ages looking at the wrong spot, and then it finely twigged that OVER THERE was another good hiding spot, and sure enough there was the cache TFTC, daredevils5.

It is back to how the day started – Solo! I began in the Murwillimbah area at 3:30am – and it is now 10pm. A long, long day of caching (in fact my longest and most finds in my current caching history). But there is always time to squeeze in a few more!
While the rain has stopped, searching anywhere under tree cover can be a very wet affair as I found out in this search! I found many discarded items that looked suitable to the cache name, and eventually settled on one that had a much bigger cache that I had expected.
Thanks for the hide daredevils5!

Down for a weekend taking in the sights of the Northern Rivers and to tackle Mt Warning so what better to do on the way.

I was actually exhausted after the drive down here and it was getting late. I spent way too much time poking around in places the GPS did not actually agree with but after checking the cache notes decided the GPS may have had the right idea in the first place.

Geo Wife and I had a day to ourselves and the Lolly Loop and it's other caches were still on our unfound list so we headed South hoping for a great day.

We were a bit unsure about this one when we parked out the front but having read the description we proceeded to search.

GZ and the hide were found quickly and we had the cache in hand soon after.

All was ok with the cache and we signed the log, considering this is a working business, we found nothing wrong with the area around GZ and found no evidence of ants.

Thanks for placing this cache, we have another business owner up our way who did the same thing and it was great to be able to drop in on them.

We dropped into the office on the way out and after initial confusion we chatted for a few minutes and assured the owner that we were happy with the cache and its location.

Thanks Dare Devil TFTC SL

Found after a quick detour before heading back to Brisbane. SL.

Quick nab by MstCam! He isn't afraid of a few ants... TFTC!

Dodgy site - dirty and full of ants. Had to come straight home and shower as ants were through my hair, down my back and even in my shoes - yuck!
